We give you the lowdown of what’s in store, so you can jump straight into the action and explore the immersive theme parks and entertainment within Universal Orlando Resort™.


 

Universal Studios Floridaâ„¢


Visit Springfield: Home of the Simpsons and test your skills in the carnival-style games in Krustyland. Whilst you’re there, have a go on The Simpsons Ride™, a 3-D rollercoaster ride or pilot your very own saucer on Kang & Kodos’ Twirl ‘n’ Hurl.

Whether you’ve got your letter to Hogwarts, have already passed your O.W.L.s, or you’re simply a Muggle, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™ is something you cannot miss.



Youll have probably seen all the rollercoasters you can experience, but did you know that you can try more than one variation of Butterbeerâ„¢ in the two lands? Chilled and frozen can be found on street carts and in the Three Broomsticksâ„¢ in Hogsmeadeâ„¢ and when the weather gets chilly, seasonal hot Butterbeerâ„¢ can be found, too. You can even sample Butterbeerâ„¢ potted cream, an indulgent dessert, also available from the Three Broomsticksâ„¢.

One of the most magical experiences at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™ is travelling from one land to another via the Hogwarts™ Express. As the train transports you to your end destination, look out for your favourite characters as you may see them through the window. You’ll need a Universal Orlando™ Explorer Ticket to board the train and ride it both ways.

 

Universal’s Islands of Adventure™




Venture to Jurassic Park™ where you can step into the raptor paddock for a chance to see Blue, the newest addition to the pack, be careful, she can be rather feisty!

If you’re a fan of water rides, you must ride Popeye & Blutos Bilge-Rat Barges®. This lesser known attraction will get you completely soaked and is full of splashes and silliness, guaranteeing you lots of laughs and screams.

Keep your superhero wardrobe up to date at the Marvel Alterniverse Store® where you can buy all manner of Marvel apparel. T-shirt, gifts, mugs, novelties, and more can be found here, plus you can even get your photo taken with Spider-Man.

Thrill-seekers will love the Kala & Tai Nui Serpentine Body Slides™ and Ko’okiri Body Plunge™ which has a 125ft drop through a trap door. You won’t have to stand in line for long as Universal’s Volcano Bay™ is the first theme park to have a Virtual Line™ for all attractions via the TapuTapu™. Simply check into the ride you want to experience then you’re free to explore the park until you feel your TapuTapu™ vibrate on your wrist.

There’s plenty for the little thrill-seekers to enjoy too. Runamukka Reef™ is a shaded area bursting at the seams with interactive water guns, slides, and dump cups. This whimsical area has lots of fun activities for the kids to uncover.
